At Peyrassol, everything comes together to create a great terroir.

Clay-limestone soils, a protective natural cirque, diverse exposures, and a rich selection of grape varieties enable the Château Peyrassol vineyard to produce wines that are authentically Provençal, recognised for their great elegance, and soon to be certified organic.

La Commanderie de Peyrassol boasts the Philippe Austruy Contemporary Art Collection which is on show in its full splendour.

In the middle of the vineyards, in the gardens called “Remarquables”, dotted around the woods and in dedicated spaces, visitors will discover monumental works of art by famous artists of the 20th and 21st Century. New acquisitions, a residence for artists and temporary exhibitions punctuate the artistic landscape at the estate.
